Jack Wilshere, Phil Jones and Leighton Baines were among the members of Roy Hodgson's squad launching the ''Signed 4 Life'' initiative which aims to raise cash for good causes.

Signed 4 Life will be an official charity of the England Footballers' Foundation.

It will sell autographed greeting cards to help raise funds for the England team’s chosen causes including The Bobby Moore Fund, Rays of Sunshine, The British Forces Foundation and the Danny Fullbrook “Fearless” Foundation.

Skipper Steven Gerrard said: "We are very excited to be involved in the Signed 4 Life launch and look forward to raising substantial funds for the England Footballer's Foundation charities through the Signed4Life platform.

''It's a simple idea to harness the power of an autograph. Hopefully we can raise money which will help improve the lives of others."

Co-Founder Ian McGarry said: "We are honoured to be launching with EFF and look forward to working with them.

''Signed 4 Life’s motto is simple: ‘Sign your name and save a life’.

''It is a unique project which has the capacity to bring people together to raise large sums of money for good causes and make a difference in the lives of many people.”
